Wikiquote:Changing username/2009

Archives for Changing username from 2009.

Enzuru --> Pashtun Ismailiyya

 * Your current user name:
 * Target name:
 * Reason: I'm changing my name across Wiki-accounts to avoid harassment by anonymous editors. Enzuru  08:31, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I am also changing my name on other Wikis, as can be seen on Wikipedia and Commons. The name is not taken on either of them, nor here. -- Enzuru 08:37, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Done. ~ UDScott 14:31, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, but I'm not sure if maybe it'll take a while for it to go through the database, but so far my other account changes have gone through. When I try logging in, I get, 'There is no user by the name "Pashtun Ismailiyya". Check your spelling, or create a new account.' It's kinda a complex name, so maybe there was a spelling error when someone changed it? -- Enzuru 23:11, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Conquistador.hr --> Conquistador

 * Your current user name:
 * Target name:
 * Reason: For SUL purposes. Conquistador.hr 20:59, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
 * My home wiki is Conquistador. Please delete Conquistador.hr account on this wikiquote after usurpation. Thank you, Conquistador.hr 20:59, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
 * This rename has been completed. The previous "Conquistador" account was renamed "Conquistador old". ~ Kalki 18:40, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Epousesquecido → Josette

 * Reason: I wish to use a portion of my real name for my userid. Note, "Josette" is a SULed ID and I have already had it changed on Meta (request: ) and Commons, with changes pending elsewhere. Thank you Epousesquecido 01:12, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * This renaming has been done. The old unused "Josette" account was renamed "Josette (old)". ~ Kalki 18:47, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Mars Jenkar → Mars Jenkar (old) and MarsJenkar → Mars Jenkar

 * Reason: As per the outdent in this thread in the Village Pump. Thank you.  —MarsJenkar 19:47, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
 * This request currently confuses me — and I don't know how or if I should proceed on it at this point. The "Mars Jenker" account is the one that is the oldest, with the longest record seems to be the one you wish to have renamed to the "Mars Jenkar (old)" name, and I don't presently see the point in immediately renaming "MarsJenkar" to "Mars Jenkar". ~ Kalki 18:29, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, the more important move is the second one; I listed it second because if I'm right about things, it should be the second one done. The reason I'm asking for this double move is so that the user history for the "Mars Jenkar" account becomes the one associated with my unified account, though I may be misunderstanding what needs to be done here. When I initially "unified" my various Wikimedia Foundation accounts (under the "MarsJenkar" name that I use on Wikipedia), the "Mars Jenkar" account had a different email address.  I've since changed it to be the same, but the account is still orphaned, and I may have in fact made things worse because this account is now a different "unified" account than the other one.  I don't want to abandon the extensive edit history done under this username, but I don't want to have to switch logins every time I log on to Wikiquote either.  —Mars Jenkar 22:39, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, if I'm misunderstanding what needs to be done here, or if there's a better way to approach this problem, please let me know. —Mars Jenkar 22:43, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I renamed the old "MarsJenkar" account you had been using to make requests "MarsJenkar (temp)" and then renamed the old "Mars Jenkar" account to "MarsJenkar" — I believe that you should now be able to attach that account to your SUL account through your preferences. ~ Kalki 23:03, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * To simplify the remaining situation, I additionally moved "MarsJenkar (temp)" to "Mars Jenkar" and I think that you should now be able to use both accounts, with the preferred "MarsJenkar" as your primary account. Please notify me if anything didn't work as I expected it to. ~ Kalki 23:10, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Yep, that worked. Thanks! —MarsJenkar 15:04, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

→ Jack Phoenix
Hi,
 * Reason:

I'd like to have the user account User:Jack Phoenix on this wiki renamed because the account has been created by a vandal and has only been used for malicious, bad-faith edits and I'm trying to get my my unified account completed. I'm a MediaWiki developer and have previously used - and still use - the username Roosa (please see my Meta-Wiki userpage and this diff for more information).

You can email me at jack[ at ]countervandalism[ dot ]net, replacing [ at ] with @ and [ dot ] with . if you want to discuss this in further detail.

Thanks in advance!

 * In response to this request, I have now renamed what seems to have been primarily a troll or vandal account "Faux Jack Phoenix" but have not as yet permanently blocked it. ~ Kalki 18:11, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Hosein.sharif → Striderstrider

 * Reason: I haven't actually edited any pages. I created this username a while ago to check how the site works. In order to keep a clean & organized resume online, I need to rename this account so that it doesn't represent my name. Hosein.sharif 08:13, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
 * This renaming has now been done. ~ Kalki 08:29, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Amk → Akuchling

 * Reason: Renaming to match my wikipedia account name. Amk 00:41, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * This account has now been renamed, but I have not recreated the old account and blocked it, as other use of these iniitials are evident in the wikis, but this can be done if there is felt to be any need. ~ Kalki 01:11, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Jayvdb → John Vandenberg

 * Reason: Global rename to match signature. John Vandenberg 10:42, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 * ✅ EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 05:46, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Jet123 → WJetChao

 * Reason: I want to have a new username because I have single user login (SUL) account and I can't gain access to some wikis with that name. My account is in migration and there are 3 unconfirmed accounts that I have on Simple English Wiktionary/Wikibooks/Wikiquote. I just want a new SUL username which is not registered. My home wiki is w:User:Jet123. Jet123 09:01, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
 * ✅ EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 02:05, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

CathHill → SillyKeysGirl

 * Reason: Used realme on a page, wish to be anonyous~

Site is back up w my real name -please change my user name and delete the site - I'd rather ldie on my feet than live on my knees - again.
 * ✅ because of the privacy concerns. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 15:32, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Tmct → Ctmt

 * Reason: I had my username changed in other projects and now I want unified login. Tmct 13:46, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * ✅ EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 15:30, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

ChristianMan16 → Christianrocker90

 * Reason: Need to finish my SUL rename. Last one :D  † Christian Man <font color="#002868">16  </b> 02:40, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
 * ✅ EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 04:37, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

AllbeFree → Way2bFree

 * Reason: to match my new wikipedia username.--AllbeFree 20:27, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Marsa Lahminal → Samar

 * Reason:Global unification of account, see here. Marsa Lahminal 17:11, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
 * ✅ EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 03:09, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Dyaballikl → Dya

 * Reason: I changed my forum name to make it simpler for people to read.. 69.56.100.172 19:16, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
 * You need to sign in to request a username change, but more than that Dyaballikl doesn't show that "Dyaballikl" is registered anywhere. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 20:47, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Pmlinediter → Pmlineditor
✅--Aphaia 11:19, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Reason: SUL unification. <font style="color:Orange">Pmlineditor    <font style="color:#50C878">∞    10:56, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Majic → MaJic

 * Reason: to merge accounts properly. Majic 16:12, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
 * The Toolserver is currently down; I'll be happy to perform the rename once I can properly check out the two usernames to make sure there aren't any problems. Sorry for the delay. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 16:02, 8 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Can you verify that you're the same user as w:en:User:MaJic? EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 14:43, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, both my accounts are registered under the same email adress. Majic 05:09, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I need you to post confirmation at w:en:User:MaJic, rather than just confirming it here with the same account that made the request. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 05:49, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * How would I do that? I went to the merge page on Wikipedia and they merged my accounts on Wikipedia and Wikimedia (which I had forgotten about), but not with here. Majic 17:52, 5 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Post on your talk page with the MaJic account. That'd be enough evidence for me. :) EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 18:25, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok then. w:en:User_talk:MaJic. Majic 20:58, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

❌, sorry to say that, since it is however now impossible: There have been account now with 8 edits since 00:54, 22 October 2009 as autocreated. We cannot merge two accounts existing on a same wiki, and it is obvious the newer one belongs to the requester as well as the older, a mere usurpation may not be appropriate without hearing his or her current wishes. The user will be welcome to request for usurpation of his own and newer account, or to forgive us the delay which should cause this complication. --Aphaia 06:11, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Mjquin_id → Mjquinn_id
❌ the account Mjquinn_id now exists. --Aphaia 06:19, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Reason: Renaming Unified Login on all wikis Mjquin id 04:56, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Flamevox → Visible Light
❌, now exists.--Aphaia 06:21, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Reason: Changing username in all wikis. Visible Light 13:12, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Archimedes → CononOfSamos
❌ since this usurpation is uncertain if it is without problem. is a SULed account with 87 edits (registrated just before this request). A new request coming through a normal usurpation procedure will be more than welcome. --Aphaia 06:26, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Reason: Trying to set up unified account. Archimedes (talk) 15:12, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Note: This would actually be a usurpation. ~ Ningauble 15:28, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
 * An usurpation request for Archimedes --> CononOfSamos has already been submitted (and well overdue). So here we go to the right forum. --Aphaia 07:02, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Damian Doyle → AnomanderDrake
✅ thank you for your patience! --Aphaia 06:30, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
